A couple of times I've read that Barr appeared appropriately moral. I'm guessing someone was watching.

I think there were various motivations for the Second Amendment, but the principle ones revolved around the need for a defense force in case of insurrection/foreign invasion. (Canada was still under British control at the time.) And wanting to avoid the expense and risk of a standing army that could usurp the fledgling Republic.

Notice that one of the right wing wet dreams is that today's standing army will reinstall Man God Crooked Donnie as dictator for life.

Heh, when I got to back to the Post Office after finishing my route today, then I saw a little "mandatory standup talk" paper about how postal drivers should act to protect themselves in events of mass public demonstrations. Clearly meant to prepare us for the coming Chauvin verdict, which was fait accompi by the time I saw the note.

BTW, it was a page and half saying basically "don't attempt to deliver mail in the middle of a protesting crowd." Who knew?

Some of you are wondering: did Barr actually have some ethical line in the sand?

Answer: No.

Gaetz was pushing the Plan faster than Barr's timeline. He was reckless. Barr was pissed because is was gonna fuck up a lot of carefully-laid plans. As in, I have been working on this model airplane for weeks; it is perfectly neat, almost done, and here comes my dumb-ass kid brother trying to paint it with a rattle can!

I think the "BIG STORY" of the decade is how close we came, and that the press is making a mistake by trying to bring down Biden's poll numbers for "balance" instead of following all of the stories that shocked us for 4 years to their logical ends.
